Stay tuned for insights from @MBudimir of @PracticalAction among others! #ActForResilienceToday

[Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance @ZCRAlliance]

The consensus from developing countries and civil society is clear – the agreement made at #COP29 on the #NCQG is an immense failure to meet the demands of the most climate-vulnerable countries.

UK overseas aid spend will reach 17-year low without urgent action.

Concern Worldwide (UK)'s Executive Director, Sayyeda Salam, is among over 100 NGOs who have signed this joint statement to warn the government.

Here are our key priorities for @Keir_Starmer and his new team.

As a major global economy and influential political actor, the UK can and must play its part in eradicating extreme poverty 👇

[Concern Worldwide UK @ConcernUK]

We’re proud to have contributed to @bondngo manifesto. We believe that increased UK international aid must prioritise the most deprived countries; climate action needs increased finance; empowerment of women & girls must be at the heart of UK foreign policies. #GeneralElection

[Sally Tyldesley @sallytyldesley]

Welcome the new @icai_uk report on the UK's #climate finance.

Much more transparency needed on how the commitment is being delivered. Especially for priorities of adaptation, gender and delivery to fragile and conflict affected states and least developed countries.

[ICAI @icai_uk]

The UK’s £11.6bn international climate finance commitment will be a challenge to meet, with 55% needing to be spent in the last two years of the pledge, according to our latest review 🌍

Concern staff in #Bangladesh and #Kenya spell out the devastation currently being created by climate change in their countries and the urgency needed from decision makers at #COP28 for climate funding and mitigation action.

It’s unacceptable that countries that didn’t cause the climate crisis should have to pay the price.

📣 Ask @RishiSunak to ensure that the #UKGov does its bit @COP28_UAE & pushes for the funding people need to adapt to #ClimateChange.

NEW @OECD report on $100 billion out today:

Developed to developing country #climatefinance increased 7.6% ($6.3bn) to $89.6bn in 2021.

Adaptation finance fell -14% ($4bn)

OECD says $100bn likely met in 2022, but no public data.

It's a mixed bag 🧵

[Concern Worldwide @Concern]

As global leaders prepare for #COP28, the stakes have rarely been higher. Delivering sufficient climate finance will be key.

[Bond @bondngo]

With the Food Security Summit just around the corner, how far have we come on nutrition in the last decade, and what does the UK government need to pledge to help stop preventable deaths?

New blog from @Mathilde_Chiesa: https://t.co/T72glScRr5

[Concern Worldwide UK @ConcernUK]

In 2019 the UK government committed to provide funding to low-income countries to deal with climate change. But since then the promise has been in question.

The threats of #ClimateChange have been clear for decades and this is yet another reminder.

We must take action to reduce emissions. We must fund solutions for the people most vulnerable to climate impacts.

We must demand better.

#AdaptationGap

[Sally Tyldesley @sallytyldesley]

Investing in adaptation can have a big impact. USD16bn per year invested in agriculture would prevent around 78 million people from chronic hunger because of climate impacts. 4/4

[Sally Tyldesley @sallytyldesley]

Some staggering figures in the UNEP #AdaptationGap report launched today. Some of the big ones below 1/4

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

#ClimateAction should be rapidly accelerating, but it is not. Progress on adaptation is slowing on all fronts.

UNEP's 2023 #AdaptationGap Report outlines what’s urgently needed in three key areas: finance, planning, and implementation. https://t.co/pxZas4WpKE

[Sally Tyldesley @sallytyldesley]

Losses and damages from #climate change are already happening. Estimates that the 55 most climate vulnerable countries along have already experienced losses and damages of over USD500 bn 3/4
